Mexico

So, we went to Mexico and had a blast!! Garrett and all of his family was there and we stayed in the most beautiful house. It was 6 bedroom, 8 bath beach house right on the ocean front. Talk about space!! There was tons of room and it had lots of neat things inside. so here are the pictures:

We deifnately are missing our sun and sand, but who knows? maybe we'll go back before summer is over!!

So I was tagged...

Camping in Flagstaff

This is going to be LONG, so hang in there!!Since Garrett got out of school before I did, he headed up with my mom to help her get all set up and then waited for us to get there. kenzie and I left on friday, May 23rd which was my last day of my first teaching job. Little did I expect to run into a snow storm from about Pine to our campground at Pine Grove. Random snow storm in May?! But when we got there we had a blast. Depsite the cold first night or two, we played some fun paintball, ate some awesome dutch-oven cooking (thanks mom and garrett), saw the Indiana Jones movie, and hung out! Kenzie enjoyed seeing the squirrels, decided that she was an awesome balancer and had to step on every rock you came across, collected and threw rocks, tried to pull herself up on a tree branch, woke garrett up each morning by saying "Daddy" until garrett got her out of the pack and play, and went on hikes with mom and dad.

Cheesy smile- Kenzie and her rock collection

Gotta love the backpack. That is the only way to go!!

Garrett and i fancy free this summer so we stayed with mom and G-ma once everyone left. We went to Winslow and saw family there, and then eventually headed home.

Cute pictures with daddy and mommy

Here are 4 generations hiking the Sunset Crater in Flagstaff

Kenzie and her grandmas ready for some spotlighting action. On this trip we saw a heard of female elk

What is this face? For real?!She has some of the funniest faces!!

Kenzie thought she was hot stuff after we curled her hair. She liked looking at herself in the mirror!!

So these are the pictures from our first camping adventure for the summer. Next week we go to Rocky Point Mexico for a whole week. Peace out 105 weather, hello beach and cool water!!

Gotta love fountains

We went to the Tempe Marketplace with our cousins and let the kids play in the water. They had a blast. Kenzie was all over, hitting the water and of course screaming each time the water came up! She was soaked by the time we went home.

Here are some cute pictures of Kenzie being her cute self. She is so close to talking and is learning so much. Everyday it is something new.

She had to get each bit of chocolate off of her hands. Too bad it never made it into her mouth!

My Field day at school

So I decided that I needed to plan and put together a field day for the kids at my school. So I planned a Dr.Suess field day with lots of fun stations and activities. Of course the favorite stations where that of the water stations. Kids loved getting wet and Garrett helped me drill holes in the bottom of the bowls to ensure that the kids were going to get wet. It was a hit!! They were drenched in water and had tons of fun. I was so glad to see it all come together and that the kids had a great time. Here are some of the pictures that i took:
